How do I play ringtone with respecting user's sound setting?

Question

I am trying to build a call application using webrtc and socket.io. I am using firebase messaging to wake up the user. I am trying to find a way to notify user with playing a ringtone like when you get call on whatsapp they play default incoming call ringtone. I tried solutions like -

Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
Ringtone r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), notification);
r.play();

another is -

Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(getApplicationContext(), notification);
mp.start();

but it does not respect user's sound setting i.e sound plays even when phone is put on vibrate or dnd.

should i check and play the sound? I was looking for a straight forward way which maybe available for such purpose like maybe an api which respects user's setting. — Shahid Kamal, Mar 14 '19 at 14:24

At least google in native phone app explicitly checks phone state, you can take a look here https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Phone/+/eclair-sholes-release/src/com/android/phone

and here is the logic, enjoy spaghetti from ring() method =) https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Phone/+/eclair-sholes-release/src/com/android/phone/Ringer.java#124
